Peter Pan 3: the lost girl
Chapter 10
(Kat's POV)
We danced and swayed in total bliss. All I could do was look into his perfect eyes. I'd always had a bit of a thing for Peter Pan, ever since I was a kid and had first heard about the wonderful boy. But now, in this moment, I realized I really did love him, and that I never wanted to leave Neverland, I just wanted to stay here in this moment with him forever. I had hardly noticed I was leaning in towards him, to kiss him. I was just about to when we both heard a loud snap,and all the lights and sounds of the fairies around us was gone. I jerked away from him and looked around, my fists once again at the ready, he turned and put his back to mine, his dagger in hand. We looked around for a few seconds. Once we where sure there was no one around, we landed and I looked at him again, the moonlight made him look so handsome. I wanted to kiss him so bad, but I just couldn't, thanks to the source of the snap, the moment was ruined.
I looked down and said, "um, I'm just gonna take a walk for a little bit, I'll be back soon. I need to think." I looked back with a small smile. He smiled back, and with a final,"okay" turned and flew back to the hide out. I turned as well and flew to the beach, where I got the clearest view of the stars. I spotted a few constellations, like Oryan, and the Pegasus, and a few others. But out of them all I could clearly see the two most famous stars, the first star, the the second star to the right. I looked up at them and thought of my family, my mom, dad, grandma, great grandma... OH CRUD! Great Grandma Wendy, she was still in the hospital, sick. I mean she was the whole reason we came to London in the first place, and I had run away because I was being selfish, thinking only of me and finding Neverland and MY happily every after, I hadn't even given Grandma a second thought, I'd completely forgotten. I felt so ashamed, I started to cry, my tears flowing freely, I didn't care who saw, all I cared about now was my grandma, I mean for all I know, she could already be dead. And I wasn't even there to say thank you or I love you or even good bye.
I jumped when I felt someone's hand on my shoulder. I looked up, half expecting Peter, half expecting to be face to face with the barrel of a gun. But instead I was greeted my Smee. I was almost happy to see the old man because I knew he would be kind enough to listen to my problems, but then I remembered he worked for Hook and had tricked my onto that boat in the first place. He had betrayed me, when I was just starting to like him, he reminded me so much of my grandpa, but then that was all turned upside down when he took me to Hook. I turned and glared back out at the water, furious that he would even have the nerve to show his face around me again, sad that he would do such a thing to me, and yet somewhat glad that he was brave enough to come near me at all.
"What do YOU want? Hm? Come to do me in like your precious little captain ordered?" I spat, still not making eye contact. He sighed and replied, "No, actually, I'm here to talk to you. I could hear you crying a mile away. Didn't know it was you when I heard it but I figured I'd better go check it out.". "Yeah, so what's the catch, you lead the entire crew here to capture me? Use me as BAIT? Or you gonna have them follow me back to the hideout, or worse, try to get me to join your crew? HMMMM? WELL LET ME TELL YOU, I'VE MADE ENOUGH MISTAKES ALREADY, I WON'T MAKE ANYMORE! I'LL-I'LL... I'LL LEAVE NEVERLAND IF I HAVE TO! I'LL DO WHAT EVER I HAVE TO TO KEEP PETER SAFE!" I shouted, the rush of tears flowing again, my eyes burning, and I was pretty sure my wings had turned red as well.
"No, dear, no. I'm here to talk to you. The crew doesn't even know I'm here. They're still at the camp the they set up. Cap'in Hook says we're not leaving empty handed this time so-" "SO YOU ARE HERE TO CAPTURE ME! I KNEW IT! WHY YOU-" Smee looked panicked, "no, they don't even know I'm here, I'm not gonna hurt you. Please trust me, Kassidy. As soon as I started getting to know you, I never wanted to hand you over to the Cap'in. But he'd have me head if I didn't. Please can we just talk? I know a lady in distress when I see one, I promise on me life, I won't hurt ya."
I stood there a few seconds longer, then collapsed and broke down crying. I pored my heart out to this old man. I didn't know why, but I felt just as safe around Smee as I did Peter. I told him about my feelings for Peter, my great grandmas health and my selfish act. We talked for a good long time. By the time the sun was just beginning to touch the horizon, I had talked my heart out and I felt so much better. I stood and offered the old man my hand. Just like my grandpa used to do, he took hold of my hand and hefted himself up. I looked down at him and gave him a hug. I didn't know why I had but I just felt I needed to. As I turned to fly away, he grabbed my wrist. I panicked and turned with my fist up, he chuckled and whispered in my ear, "just a suggestion, you and the boys might want to steer clear of the west side of the island today." he winked, turned and left through the bushes. It took a few seconds before I realized what he had said was a warning. Smee really was a friend.
(Tinks POV)
I flew over the island. I don't know where I'm going, but it just helps, let's me blow off some steam, which there is a lot of with Kat around. I flew down to my beach, near the hideout. I was about to land when I saw her, Kat. I wanted to scream! I looked closer and saw she was face down, and shaking violently, she was crying. I almost felt sorry for her. Almost. Just then, Smee, the first mate came out of the bushes and when toward her. I though for sure he would get her, but instead she yelled at him, then fell down and they started to talk. They did that till sun rise. Then she did something that I could totally use against her... she hugged Smee. Only one thought when through my head then, I'd tell Peter, he'd get mad at Kat, then she'd be gone for good.
